High-level martial arts: Starting with a heart of steel, stats crush everything.

On second thought, Joseph seemed quite a good match for his older sister.

A berserker wielding a giant axe, and a great knight clad in heavy armor.

The two seem to have a similar art style?

Withdrawing his scrutinizing gaze, Chen Mo decided to wait and see what his older sister's final choice would be.

"Then you'll all come with me. Funi, you stay here just in case."

Chen Mo tucked Joseph and Yang Zuo under his armpits, Ma Wanglin and He Miao lay on his back, and Gu Feng hugged his thighs.

"You...aren't you a grandmaster?"

"You could simply envelop them with your qi and blood, couldn't you?"

Xuan Yin Zhenren looked at Chen Mo and the others with some confusion about their peculiar appearances. Chen Mo also realized that he seemed to have already become a Grandmaster.

Somewhat awkwardly, Chen Mo put the group down, then waved his hand, creating a thick barrier of qi and blood that lifted them up.

"I'm leaving now. If anything comes up, just hold on for a bit. I'll be back to help soon."

After giving some instructions to Funi and Xuan Yin Zhenren, Chen Mo led the group towards the Mountain City Research Center.

......

In the Sea of ​​the End, Ying Tianxing stared blankly at the dimming Abyss Mother Tree.

Why did the Abyss Mother Tree, which was just going berserk, suddenly become so weak?

"Wait, Chen Mo's aura has vanished!?"

Ying Tianxing seemed to realize something. It turned out that this kid wasn't just showing off; he did indeed have methods that Ying Tianxing didn't understand.

"With this kid taking away the tree's heart and the source of life, the Abyss Mother Tree will probably be quiet for a long time..."

Touching the Berserker Armor on his body, Ying Tianxing shook his head.

"I should take this time to recover properly; there's a feeling that a storm is brewing..."

Since Chen Mo didn't take this artifact with him, he must have some urgent business to attend to. I'll just shamelessly use it for now.

Looking at the nearly dried-up Sea of ​​the End, Ying Tianxing felt a sense of foreboding.

In the Hall of Ten Kings, nine kings gathered together.

"..."

The entire Ten Kings Palace was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. This disaster caused by the Abyss Mother Tree resulted in the loss of 30% of the population of the Ruins of Return.

"The plan has been initiated ahead of schedule. To awaken our divine lord, we must relocate immediately."

"If this continues, in the end there will only be nine of us left in the whole world."

The Abyss King's face was unusually gloomy. He had originally planned to proceed with the plan step by step, but now it seemed that was no longer possible.

Their barrier to the Outer Gods, the Sea of ​​the End, has been devoured by the scourge of the Abyss Mother Tree, and the warriors of the Land of Glory are growing stronger and stronger. Their Earth will not last much longer.

Faced with attacks from both sides, the Abyss King chose to take the initiative.

Their planet was nearly destroyed by the pressure from the Outer Gods; only the God Lord was able to fight against that monster.

Whether it's the plan to conquer the Land of Glory or the fight against the Outer Gods, both require the help of the Divine Lord.

"But... the God has been asleep for ten thousand years. Can the life essence we've accumulated awaken him?"

The seemingly honest and simple-minded Undying King frowned. If he couldn't successfully awaken the God, wouldn't all his years of hard work have been in vain?

"We have no other choice. The Sea of ​​End left by the God is about to dry up, and the invasion of the Outer Gods is only a matter of time."

The Abyss King shook his head, his gloomy expression gradually turning into helplessness.

"That Mother Tree of the Abyss..."

The Undying King wanted to struggle a bit more, but after seeing the expressions of the remaining kings, he shut up.

"Don't expect the Divine Tree to withstand the Outer Gods, and we shouldn't provoke it either. That thing has already merged with the will of Earth."

"You expect to cooperate with a dying world will?"

"We can only save ourselves, but there is a way to make use of the divine tree..."

The Abyss King's eyes deepened, and he rose and patted the throne beneath him.

"But the top priority is to awaken the God, and bring the life essence I have collected over the years with me."

A violent surge of energy erupted, and the Abyss King, his face flushed, slammed his palm into the air in front of him.

The remaining five Heavenly Martial Realm Kings also made the same move.

The void shattered, and a massive, dark gate appeared inside the Ten Kings Hall.

"Let's go, it's time to awaken the God."

The Abyss King took a deep breath, prepared himself mentally, and together with the five kings, pushed open the giant gate.

The three lower kings looked at the giant gate not far away and exchanged bewildered glances before finally returning to their seats.

The place where the God slumbers is beyond their reach. The God has said that only the six supreme kings are qualified to enter the place of slumber.

After all six kings entered the pitch-black passage, the giant gate slammed shut with a bang and disappeared into thin air.

At the very moment the giant gate closed, a strange roar resounded.

"Ugh..."

The Spirit King, the Power King, and the Wisdom King all got goosebumps all over their bodies, and they all looked towards the other side of the Sea of ​​End.

"The Outer God has awakened!"

...

Mountain City Research Center, Biological Research Laboratory.

"Hahahaha!"

Chu Tianhua held a baby who looked like a porcelain doll in his arms, his eyes filled with excitement and pride.

"The fusion of the Celestial Race, the Abyss Race, the Snow Woman, the Sea Beast, and the Void Demon has finally been successful."

"I was wrong before, terribly wrong."

"We shouldn't have tried to give androids power above the Grandmaster level from the very beginning. Their bodies are too weak to withstand such great power."

"But these powers can be sealed within their bodies, and will naturally awaken as they age!"

Chu Tianliao, who was standing to the side, was also quite excited. After nearly a hundred days of hard work, the first product had finally been developed.

"Big brother, shouldn't we give her a name?"

"Name?" Chu Tianhua stopped laughing, frowned, and looked at Chu Tianliao.

"Tian Liao, don't you understand?"

"Once you name something, it means you're going to put your emotions into it."

"You should know that these test subjects are meant to replace my human soldiers in battle; they are merely tools, nothing more."

"However, we could choose a code name."

"How about this, let's call her... Zero."

"I'll leave Zero in your care for now. I'm going to check on Chen Mo's sister."

He handed the baby in his arms to Chu Tianliao, then his body slowly rose and quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.

"Number Zero..."

Chu Tianliao gently pinched the baby's cheek in his arms, then shook his head with some reluctance.

But the next moment, Chu Tianliao's eyes widened suddenly.

"My brother is right. I shouldn't invest too much emotion in a tool."

"You shouldn't have too many emotions; just delete the emotion module from your brain."
